In this presentation we鈥檒l introduce the concepts associated with Consequence-driven, Cyber-informed Engineering (CCE). Developed by Idaho National Laboratory (INL), one of the US Department of Energy鈥檚 17 national laboratories, and currently being deployed by critical infrastructure owners around the country, CCE is a ground-breaking approach to designing and securing more resilient physical systems. These days every piece of the equipment we use to run our world is designed in software and is operated in an increasingly automated or even fully automated fashion on complex software over digital networks. When things go well, on what we call blue sky days, it鈥檚 an unbeatable approach. But when something goes wrong, when skies turn grey or even black, our ability to understand the problem and restore operations is severely impaired. What鈥檚 more, when intruders take over control of our most critical processes or manipulate the data on which they depend, many organizations鈥� ability to 鈥渙perate through鈥� attacks is quite limited. INL partner West Yost is tuning the methodology to better secure water and wastewater operations, and we鈥檒l be happy to discuss applications to other industrial sectors as well.
